I think you're overrating Iran's ability some. I suspect that Israel / the United States would be willing to deploy even more assets in the face of a significant ballistic missile attack. For example, the U.S. did not even use any if it's AEGIS guided missile cruisers or Arleigh Burke Class destoyers. Both platforms carry a plethora of RIM missiles made for intercepting ballistic missiles. Parking a couple of those off the coast (which I suspect you'll see) would greatly strength Israel's air defense.

*USN ships shot down 3 Iranian BMs in this attack.

*Only SM-3 and SM-6 from standard missiles family is able to shoot down BMs.

People are forgetting in an all out war, Hezbollah (while taking serious casualties) would still launch tens of thousands rockets which would overwhelm the Israeli AD in the region.

And you can't stop someone from launching rockets by air interdiction only.

It has been confirmed that a C-130 transport plane and storage areas were hit in Nevatim. So I'll have to round it up.

It was written on Wikipedia that F-35 warplanes were deployed for Nevatim air base and that this fleet was the fleet that would send Israel's nuclear weapons to the target.

Therefore, Israel and its allies defended themselves against 65 ballistic missiles yesterday. And they could only hit 50-55 of them. 10 missiles hit air bases. 7 of these were in Nevatim.

If Iran really wanted to wipe this air base off the map, 3-4 times the 65 missiles it sent yesterday would be enough. Then, the nuclear weapon-loaded F-35s, one of Israel's nuclear trinity, would be destroyed. This is no success, folks. Please don't make fun of our minds.
Some Iranian telegram channels are claiming that several f35s were damaged at Nevatim but the israelis are heavily censoring any media reports about the effects of the missiles that hit. And to think this was only a drill for Iran you can only imagine what a full saturation attack could do to Israel. If only any arab countries would help they could get rid of Israel in a short time.

As big as Iran's missile arsenal is, I think the real threat comes from Hezbollah. Iran has a huge amount of missiles and drones, but only a portion of these can reach Israel. This is why they invest so heavily in their proxies.

Israel will probably strike Hezbollah in Lebanon first, move onto Iranian backed forces in Syria, before finally focusing on Iran.

It's an uphill battle. Israel needs to keep its airforce intact. They will need clever ways to protect their F35s while they're parked.

Both RIM-156 and RIM-174 (SM-6) are able to shoot down BMs. Both AEGIS cruisers and Arleigh Burke Destoyers are capable.

There is no question that Iranian proxies would overwhelm Israeli missile defense systems, but as you alluded to, the cost would be insane. I suspect that Lebanese cities would be bombed into something resembling Gaza City, with the death toll among both the populous and Hezbollah, through the roof.

SM-2 block IV and SM-6 are both somewhat terminal phase interceptors. Only SM-3 has mid course ABM which would have more practical utility in such defensive scenario.

Gaza is land locked and Hezbollah is not intertwined with civilians population as densly as Hamas. Besides, Lebanon is large, thus, Hezbollah has room for maneuver and retreat. However, in th end a full scale conventional war would be devastating for Lebanon. But I imagine Iran would not hesitate to sacrifice Hezbollah and Lebanon in such scenario.

By supplying aids and weapons.
What about the rest of the world.
Do they supply any weapons to the palestinian
And they do it for free? IRGC generals are not getting rich through Palestine together with Hamas high ups? They don't supply any weapon for free, they make money through every bit in Palestine. Don't be too naive.

Well at least they still willing to take risk supplying weapons.

What about other countries or organization...are there any of them willing to supply weapons to palestinian.
Most of them are too scared of US,western nations or Israel...or simply just talk too much or crying yet no balls

And they are supplying weapons merely because it pays back to them in someway through proxies, i don't see them helping any other opressed muslim community in the world.
This doesn't make them angel or whatsoever, they are the devil they have used to be and who has been stirring middle east as US-Israel have been wanting, for decades. No other country could get what Iran takes back. It is using Palestinian people, it is what it is.

Nothing was hit,Iranian propaganda showed some fires in Chile as being their 70s rocket tech hitting something.....The iranians know that they're outmatched so they'll light a useless firework every time the Israelis and Americans butcher their higher ops....and,rinse and repeat
Why are you so sure of what you say when even your dear Israeli friends say the opposite?
Were you there when the missiles hit the base?

For example, the U.S. did not even use any if it's AEGIS guided missile cruisers or Arleigh Burke Class destoyers.

"The U.S. moves included repositioning two destroyers, one of which was already in the region and another that was redirected there, U.S. officials said, adding that at least one of the vessels carried the Aegis missile-defense system."

Well, these ships you mentioned were already deployed off the coast of Israel for missile defense. Therefore, it cannot be an excuse to say that the US could have increased the number of missiles hit by using these ships if it wanted to, after the failed attacks.

Iran has done nothing to fight for the Muslim Ummah.

I agree, the missile barrage towards Israel is done not because of Palestine but retaliation for their embassy getting bombed.

But even then, Iran has shown the balls that many if not all Muslim countries are currently lacking.

And for that I say good job to Iran.

So are you saying its better for the Palestenian to be defenseless.
Who cares whatever their intensions are as long they supply them weapons otherwise they will be easily killed by the settlers and israeli.
Even kids throwing stones are being killed.
